Palm's planned Linux-based Palm OS, called "Palm OS II," is "on track" to be ready by the end of the year, with a target of early 2009 for devices running the new OS to be on sale. The new Palm OS is being developed independent of Access, the company that owns the current (old) Palm OS, which is acquired with PalmSource in 2005.

...there were a free update for all of us with older PalmOS gear who have stuck with them over all this time.
I have an old Palm Zire 72s I still use and just picked up a new hardcase for; the old one literally fell apart over the last six months after three or four years of hard use. I like it despite its flaws because even with those flaws it still works better than its competition does. I started with An HP iPaq 1915 and have a Dell Axim x5 I neglect in favor of the Palm Zire 72s...
I still like the idea and the concept of PDAs and PocketPCs, unfortunately these types of devices have failed completely to live up to their potential and I think once my Zire dies I will be done with thos things for good in favor of my Eee 901, and hopefully its lighter and more portable(!) successors.
